.“Please sir, I want some more.” Oliver’s innocent request lands him in trouble with the workhouse Matron and the Beadle and sets him on his famous adventure. He is sold to a local undertaker, but runs away and is picked up by the Artful Dodger who invites Oliver to ‘Consider Yourself’ one of us! Fagin’s Gang set out to ‘Pick A Pocket or two’ and take Oliver along, but he is arrested and taken before the magistrates. When he finds Oliver was an innocent bystander, Mr Brownlow, the victim of the gang, takes Oliver in. Fagin’s Thief, Bill Sykes is afraid Oliver will give away their set-up and sends his girlfriend , Nancy to get Oliver back. Eventually Oliver is restored to Mr Brownlow, who by a million to one chance happens to be his Grandfather. Fagin sets out to rebuild his gang with the Dodger.
